Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

"Die! Alien bastard!"

"For humanity!"

"Wow! Wow!"

In the dormitory, the metallic battle roar of the Astartes resounded, as well as the unique gunfire of the bolt gun.

Most of the video is based on the perspective of Gabriel's helmet. The screen has been processed and edited many times by the white queen to make it less bloody.

Especially without the scenes of Grunts and Jackals "exploding".

Even if they are not human beings, the moment their internal organs and intestines splatter outwards will still cause discomfort to the public.

"..."

The three who watched the video were silent.

Everyone was shocked, as if they couldn't believe what they saw just now.

The roommate standing by the window on the right pinched her thigh hard. The pain made her know that what happened in front of her was not a dream, but a reality.

And the boy who was sitting behind the table under his own shop calmed down before stretching out his hands to touch the holographic screen.

After minimizing the video screen, the screen presented in front of the three of them was the homepage of an online forum called "Human Military".

The number of clicks, views, and popularity ranked first by netizens is precisely the gang-jumping video released by Umbrella's official account.

The second most popular video after the video is the life and training photos of the Umbrella First Corps fleet.

The third is that the UNSC announced the battle situation of Harvest Star.

The rest were heated discussions among netizens. Some masters even began to analyze the gap between humans and the Star Alliance, and even attached schematic diagrams full of details.

A few minutes ago, the boy who was going to browse the forum entered the homepage and happened to see the most popular video, and called the two roommates who had changed their clothes and wanted to participate in the exhibition to watch it together.

This opening allows the three of them to directly understand that behind a happy and stable life, it seems to be far beyond their imagination.

Ignoring other posts, the boy tapped the red and white umbrella profile picture of Umbrella's official account with his left index finger, and pressed for a second, and a small screen appeared.

"This..." Looking at the fully authenticated information, the boy said in amazement to his two roommates:

"This is Umbrella's account, yes, is it an official spoof?"

The roommate by the window shook his head lightly, and said, "Even if it's April Fool's Day, Umbrella can't be doing a spoof, it's probably true."

"See what the second one is," suggested another roommate.

"it is good."

The boy waved the small screen away and tapped the second post so the three of them could continue browsing.

next;

"My God, look at that guy's height, he must be at least four meters!"

"One of my cousins ​​is a member of Umbrella's auxiliary army, but he always told me that there are no super soldiers in the world!"

"Dude, can you ask your cousin how he became an auxiliary army? I suddenly want to join the army..."

Outside the dormitory at the moment.

People from Umbrella University, Raccoon City, and even the entire solar system and the entire territory are as focused as the boy and his roommates on another "wave" that Umbrella fanned on the Internet.

…

Three hours later.

Within the gravitational range of Harvest Star, in the icy space of the galaxy background...

!

Fifteen jump exits were suddenly opened for the fleet of the First Legion belonging to Umbrella to sail out of the fault space together.

The leading flagship is the largest hymn of courage for mankind at this stage.

Then there are two three-kilometer-long Achilles-class aircraft carriers that are mainly used to accommodate various types of carrier-based aircraft, ground armor and auxiliary forces, and do not have heavy artillery.

In charge of the battle are two Gorgon-class battleships, two Heroic-class super-heavy cruisers, and seven Firm-class frigates.

Among them, the Gorgon class has a total length of 2.5 kilometers. The center of the hull is three 25-ton electromagnetic gun arrays, and the sides of the hull are equipped with plasma cannons of various calibers.

The firepower is superior, but Gorgon's hangar is pitifully small, and the number of carrier-based aircraft that can be accommodated is limited.

The Steadfast class, which is about one kilometer in length, is far superior to the "predecessors" such as the Goshawk class and the Paris class in terms of firepower, speed, and maneuverability. It has been incorporated into the fleet for less than ten years, and belongs to the most novel batch of warships.

The last one is a four-kilometer support boat, responsible for maintenance, treating the wounded and carrying spare supplies.

Although the specifications of the support boat were second only to the Hymn of Courage, "she" was not equipped with more weapons except for close-in anti-aircraft guns and a few small-caliber plasma cannons, and she did not belong to the first echelon of combat ships.

Fifteen warships of different purposes and levels formed the current Third Legion, the Dark Angels Fleet.

The size of Umbrella's ten fleets was also similar to that of the Third Legion, keeping within twenty ships.

The scale is not unprecedented, and it is not comparable to the UNSC 1st and 2nd main fleets, but the Legion has been pursuing quality from the very beginning.

The members of the Auxiliary Army are the absolute elite selected by the red and white queens from all human beings and the UNSC.

Wait to drive out of the fault space completely.

The fleet reorganized its formation and gradually approached Harvest Star using conventional navigation.

And the current Harvest Star is no longer what it used to be. There is only a 500-meter-long Punishment stationed there.

This remote "farm" planet has gathered more than 50 warships and ships in its low-earth orbit after the Third Legion joined.

The ratio of military personnel to ordinary residents is seriously unbalanced.

However, the tens of millions of people living in Harvest Star didn't care about the ratio at all.

Only the sense of security brought by the fleet, and the pride of human military strength.

The two enemy ships that were dragged into low-Earth orbit by the engineering ship of the 045th Fleet gave the people absolute confidence, and the heroic soldiers who protected them faced anyone who dared to invade.

Inside the hangar of Anthem of Courage.

Sui Bian and his party are passing through the exclusive covered bridge, preparing to board a large transport boat.

Sui Bian, with his hands behind his back, walked in front, almost "shoulder to shoulder" with him, and Leon was slightly behind.

Behind them are two conscientious artificial intelligences, and a group of elites equipped with Terminator power armor.

It's just that the style and details of this group of elite terminators show that they are not paladins of the Dark Angels, nor do they belong to any legion.

The outer armor also made by Hephaestus is more gorgeous, with exquisite glyphs, and the right hand holds a power halberd similar in appearance to the gray knight.

The painting is mainly black, which is the most representative of Umbrella, with gold embellishments. The overall style is similar to Sui Bian's black gold armor.

"Guardian".

It is the name of this group of special elites.

Sui Bian personally selected the heirs from the honor guards and company champions of the ten legions. Each of them has strong physical and spiritual powers, and they are one against ten.

And this "ten" belonged to the veteran brothers in the legion, and because of this, the total number of guards barely reached more than two hundred.

In the covered bridge.

"Chairman."

The pupils continued to emit light blue light, indicating that the Queen Bai, who was processing huge data without interruption, said to Sui Bian in front of her:

"The video and image materials we suddenly released have plunged the entire society into heated debates and discussions.

But according to my secret statistics, 87% of people on the Internet easily accept the fact that Astartes and the Primarchs exist without our explanation.

Among the remaining people, some expressed skepticism, and a very small number put forward alternative views. "

"Alternative?" Sui Bian looked at Queen Bai from the corner of his eye.

"Yes." She continued: "Among these views, most of them are why they are so violent. Are super soldiers used for slaughter? Is it too cruel... and so on."

"So that's how it is." Sui Bian looked forward again and said, "Did you intervene?"

"No, I'm just observing secretly. After all, such remarks are only a very small number." Bai Hou lightly shook his head.

Then he said with great interest: "I really appreciate a netizen's reply, please read it, Chairman."

At the same time as Bai Hou spoke, she quickly stepped forward, spread out the palm of her right hand, and raised it slightly.

Immediately afterwards, she used her prosthetic body to display a holographic screen on the palm of her hand, showing Sui Bian one of the discussion posts on the "Human Military" forum.

The content posted by the poster is:

"The methods of this group of super soldiers are a bit cruel. They always feel too hostile. Maybe the alien race is friendly. We may have misunderstood."

And the reply with more likes than the post is:

"Dude, having a sword or not having a sword is two different things. What we see are super soldiers slaughtering alien races, but if there are no super soldiers, then we must be the ones being slaughtered, yes, our entire human race.

At that time, there may be "kind" guys in the alien race who will speak up for us, saying that this is too cruel, and can't it be resolved in a peaceful way?

Thinking about it in another way, do you think the alien race will stop killing our race because of these remarks?

So man, we are now free to express different opinions, all of which are paid for by the blood and lives of our ancestors. Never forget the 300,000 compatriots in Elizabeth City. "

This reply was endorsed by many netizens, including the poster.

The seemingly well-founded reply also convinced the "peace is the most important" poster.

It also won the appreciation of Sui Bian.

"It's really good, Empress Bai, you can control it appropriately so that more people will notice this post," Sui Bian said.

"Okay, Chairman."

Bai Hou dissipated from the screen and followed Sui Bian not far behind.

After the White Queen stopped talking, the Red Queen kept silent and looked at the cabin door not far ahead. Leon suddenly opened his mouth and expressed his doubts to Sui Bian:

"Father, how should the company officially introduce us? Should the news department be in charge?"

"Of course not." Sui Bian turned his head to look at Leon, showing a kind smile that didn't match his face, and asked his third son:

"Leon, what do you think I am trying to use my status as a member of the company's board of directors to become a member of UEG and gradually appear in the public eye?"

"Prepare to lead mankind forward on the bright side?" Leon tried to answer.

"If human beings urgently need faith and need a support to survive in this galaxy, then I will not hesitate to take on the heavy responsibility, but...human beings don't need it now, and that is not the future I hope for."

Having said that, Sui Bian changed the subject, raised his left hand, tapped Leon's power armor lightly, and continued to explain:

"Because I don't want to miss the one and only chance to personally introduce my most proud children to all human beings."

? …

...!

After listening to Sui Bian's words, Leon froze for a moment, but soon understood his father's intentions.

Immediately, there was a hint of excitement on the indifferent face, and a vague expectation in the eyes, and he responded without much change in tone:

"I see, father."

"Sometimes you have to smile more, Leon, don't always put on a grim look."

"yes…"

In fact, Sui Bian's intention was very simple.

When children get good grades in exams, make progress, and learn a skill, most parents will share their joy with relatives and friends, or use the Internet to strangers.

Although all the sons are "one" special, Sui Bian, who is also a father, cannot escape this selfishness after all.

Moreover, this is also the best encouragement and affirmation for Leon, Robert, and John, the Primarch brothers.

conversation room.

Sui Bian, Leon and his party have already passed through the hatch and entered the transport boat with the engine started.

Seeing this, the pilot closed the hatch, and the ground crew also manipulated the corridor bridge to shrink and fold until a safe distance was maintained from the flying boat.

After everything is ready.

The pilot drives the transport boat off the deck, slowly flies in the spacious hangar, and passes through the air valve to the outside of the ship, and then prepares to enter the atmosphere and sail towards the surface of Harvest Star.

…

Shortly after.

The northern hemisphere of Harvest Star is in the dense forest in the early morning.

Beside the freshwater lake where the mist rises, Umbrella's engineering team has been remodeling at this moment, and a temporary camp has been established.

The camp has several simple buildings and a large apron for transport planes and transport boats.

At the same time, the engineering team also assisted technical and archaeological personnel in digging, cleaning up the gravel, and completely exposing the true appearance of the metal remains embedded in the rock wall on the west bank of the lake to the early morning sun.

The whole forms a "△" equilateral triangle structure.

The gap in the middle indicates that it is a gate that can lead to the depths of the ruins.

In front of the metal gate.

Shirley and another woman in charge stood not far from the shore, observing the excavation site.

The female person in charge is Laura Crawford, who has a highly recognizable braid, wears a blue shirt and a leather underarm holster, and has an excellent figure.

"Crawford." Looking at the gate where light continued to overflow from the gap, Shirley asked:

"What did you mean just now, that the scale of our Harvest Star's ruins may be larger than that of Methrein?"

"Based on my experience, yes." Laura did not deny it, and added: "However, we will not know the real situation until the chairman arrives."

"Indeed." Shirley nodded in agreement.

"Aw...! Aw...!"

At this time, the unique roar of the elite clan came from the camp.

Xue Li, who heard the movement, turned to face the camp and couldn't help but said, "How much do these guys like to shout?"

After finishing speaking, she also saw a transport boat approaching their location in the sky.

Then he reminded Laura beside him: "Let's go, Crawford, the chairman is coming soon."

"it is good."
